Company Description

About us

BlaBlaCar’s vision is to bring fairness, freedom, and fraternity to the world of travel. 

BlaBlaCar was created in 2006 with one dream in mind: fill the millions of empty seats on the road to create an efficient, affordable, and friendly way to travel. Today, our global, trusted community counts 87 million members in 22 countries, enabling a smarter, large scale and truly sustainable transport network. 

Born from a simple idea of people sharing their rides, BlaBlaCar’s ambition is to become the go-to marketplace for shared road mobility. We offer a long-distance carpooling service, a commuting carpooling service, and a long-distance bus service. A filled bus emits one-third of the emissions per passenger kilometer as an average car -- so we want to fill those seats too! 

In 2019, 100 million travelers used BlaBlaCar globally, saving 1.6 million tons of CO2. Meanwhile, we enabled human connections, bringing people closer together in more ways than one, with 87% of members believing carpooling to be an enriching experience. 

BlaBlaCar offers a unique international environment with a team counting 40 nationalities, serving a global member-base from the offices in Berlin, Kyiv, Madrid, Milan, Moscow, Paris (HQ), São Paulo, Warsaw, and other cities around the globe. English is the official spoken language across BlaBlaCar. We are privately held and founder-led. Our team of 700 employees is entrepreneurial, passionate, and fundamentally mission-driven.

About solutions for Bus Stations

Bus stations play a critical role in the value chain, especially in Russia. Therefore, digitalization of the bus market will not happen without digitalization of the bus stations.

We aim to fix this by providing top-notch solutions for them which should be easy-to-use at the same time. This is a challenging task, but we admire challenging tasks!
